5W40 Mobil 1 European blend full synthetic. It should have a label approved by Mercedes.

Sounds like the dealership owes you a fill up. I’m sure they would be happy to take care of their error. Maybe try them?

How do you know they didn’t put enough..any warning coming up or you’re seeing the level is low enough to not show green?

btw, congrats on really driving this thing..10k milestone arrived quick for you!

I am here now: if you want something done right do it yourself.

@festertester yes 10k woot. It’s such a nice truck for my long drives.

and yes an alert pops up saying add oil. Also if you toggle on your steering wheel to “service” and go down to Engine Oil it shows you how much oil you have. And an alert if you need some!

FINAL ANSWER: Oil is 0W-40 and it does say “for Mercedes” right on it. .
